James Altucher has started and ran more than 20 companies and is currently an investor in and advisor to over 30, but at one point, James lost everything. In a matter of months, his account drained from $15 million to $143. Depressed and on the floor, James realized today's standard view of success comes with conditions, and that the only effective way to be successful is to choose yourself.
Now, James Altucher is a successful entrepreneur, angel investor, chess master, and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of "Choose Yourself." You can find his best and most controversial advice in The Altucher Report, which provides you with James' personal research in business, finance, and entrepreneurship. James also has a new bookour, Skip The Line.
